Episode 223
“Were you young?”
Raon frowned as he looked at Pederic’s awkward eyes. I had no idea what he was going to say.
“What do you mean… .”
“Don’t explain. I thought about how long I should hide, but it turned out better.”
Pederic motioned for him to sit down. Raon looked at his hand and sat across from him.
“You may remember me when I was four or five, but I actually visited you six times.”
“Well… .”
Raon wiped his lips briefly.
‘I remember all of that.’
He had had an accident since he was born, so he remembered every moment he met him. From the first time I saw him when he was 100, he came every year until he turned 5, giving him an elixir, and giving him treatment.
“From the age of 1 to 5, I went to Sieghard to check on your condition, but the first was not my will. Of course, it is no coincidence.”
“Yes?”
If it was the first time, it was not long after I got my name from Glenn.
“I told Sylvia that I had stopped by when I heard the news that you were born, but… .”
Federick sighed and shook his head. He sighed, closing his eyes as if he was still worried.
“Saint.”
“okay. I have to finish what I’ve already started. I went to the annex at the request of someone.”
“Please?”
“It was a request like an order to come to Sieghard right away, check your condition, and find a treatment that suits you.”
He groaned, saying it was the first time he had asked such a ridiculous request.
“Who is that?”
“If I was going to reveal my identity, I wouldn’t even have said I was someone.”
Pederic smiled faintly. It was a smile that seemed to know who you were.
“When you say that you are cursed with a cold spell, there is no clear cure, and you need to warm your body with an elixir, ‘He’ took out a fire elemental elixir and told him to hand it over to Sylvia.”
“ah… .”
Raon opened his mouth wide.
‘The elixir of that time?’
Sylvia swallowed dry saliva when she heard that the elixir that Sylvia had warmed up in her bowl had also come from ‘that person’, not the saint.
“I’m sorry to tell you now. I had no choice but to keep it a secret.”
“… no.”
I just want to thank you for telling me what you want me to keep a secret.
“So I am sorry for you. You risked your life to save me, but it was someone else who helped you.”
“Don’t say that.”
Raon shook his head resolutely.
“I just want to thank you.”
A saint is a person who can’t be worshiped even if he wants to. It is very difficult to visit Sieghart five times to treat and give an elixir to a child who is unfamiliar, even if it is the first time he has been asked. Even after hearing the truth from Pederic, he had no regrets in saving him.
“Thank you for saying that. Now I feel like I owe you.”
Pederic ruffled his beard and smiled blankly.
“Do your best to pay the debt and study your favors.”
“You don’t have to think of it as a debt. Don’t be burdened.”
“That word is even more burdensome! This guy!”
Raon and Fedric looked at each other with affectionate gazes and burst into laughter.
“So do you know who called me?”
“Yes.”
Leon closed his eyes.
“I can’t know.”
A person who calls on the saint of rags, Pederic, and immediately gives away three high-quality elixirs, and confirms his unfavorable symptoms. I gave you a hint, but if you don’t know, you’ll have to bite your tongue and die.
– Who is it? Who the hell wasted your elixir?
Lars tilted his head as if he had no idea at all.
‘Glen Sighardt.’
-that… .
‘The Lord has called the saint.’
I could not have imagined, but it was clear that the headmaster Glenn Sighardt had called the saint.
‘I’ve known since then.’
Glenn must have known that he was suffering from the frigid cold from the moment he gave him his name.
‘But why?’
I don’t know why I pretended not to know anything or didn’t care.
‘I didn’t like it.’
It was really inconsistent with the fact that he had allowed not only his immediate family to face shame and insults, but also the fact that he had summoned a saint for himself.
“Hmm.”
Pederic licked his lips as he looked at Raon with his eyebrows lowered.
‘You seem to have noticed that it’s Glenn.’
Raon is not only brute, but also has a fast brain. Even before hearing all the hints, you must have thought of Glenn.
‘Iron masked boy. sorry.’
Fedric sent a heartfelt apology to Glenn, who was completely unaware of the situation.
‘Still, you didn’t tell me that you went to Raon every day to infuse Auror and wear a plaque.’
Glenn loves Raon more than anyone. He visited me every day to push away the cold, and the one I used to call myself was a divine card that can only be used once in a lifetime.
‘Now, stop being stupid and have a good time.’
Fedric smiled a little, hoping that his awkward grandchildren, who seemingly looked like cows and chickens, would become friends.
“Saint.”
Raon called for Pederic with a face full of doubts.
“Didn’t he give instructions from the second time on, not the first?”
“okay. He said nothing.”
“Then can I ask you one thing?”
Fedric nodded his head as if to do anything.
“Even if you were asked first, why did you come every year for 5 years? It must not have been an easy task for a saint to come to Sieghart, who travels the entire continent for healing.”
Instead of staying in one place, Federik constantly travels around the continent, healing people. It was very unusual for him to come and check himself every year.
“Because of your eyes.”
“Yes?”
“What… .”
He scratched his head as if choosing what to say.
“You don’t cry or laugh when you see a stranger on a topic you’ve just been born with. He was as cold and calm as an adult. It sounds crazy, but I felt as if I was going to do my job as if the winds and waves of time had passed.”
“ah… .”
Raon looked away and bit his lip.
‘That’s what he said.’
Having been betrayed in his previous life, he was about to leave after growing up in Sieghard without any help.
However, starting with Sylvia and Helen, he changed his mind as he became entangled with many people.
“I wanted to change that look. I wanted to see your smile after letting them know that there are people who like and help someone without paying for it. Of course, you weren’t old enough to know.”
Fedric scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
“Well… .”
Raon clenched his fists. My heart pounded loudly at Fedric’s sincere words.
“You asked one question, so let me ask you one favor.”
“Say it.”
“Will you listen?”
“Yes.”
There was no rejection because I had just seen the sincerity of Federik.
“Then let’s have a laugh.”
“Yeah?”
Raon’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
“Didn’t you tell me? I wanted to see your smile. I never saw it when I was a kid, so make sure you smile now.”
“no… .”
“Didn’t you just say you would do something?”
“cadet.”
Raon frowned as he covered the cheek with his hand.
“I didn’t say frown. I asked you to smile.”
“All right, can’t it be anything else?”
If I had to fight Eden again, I would fight, but when he suddenly asked me to smile, I was embarrassed and my cheeks got hot.
“Wow!”
Fedric coughed loudly as if to hurry.
“Whew… .”
Leon took a deep breath. Come to think of it, I don’t remember laughing while being treated by Fedric.
“Then wait a minute.”
Raon pinched his cheeks and stretched them out, then turned his head. He smiled as naturally as possible as he looked at the anticipating Federik.
He was very shy, but he kept his smile until the end to repay his heart.
“Fufu.”
Pederic nodded and smiled softly.
“As Encia said, you are so handsome.”
* * *
“ha… .”
Raon sighed, alone in the room.
‘I do not get it.’
It’s understandable that Glenn called for Federik. If your grandchild is sick, it is natural to call in a good therapist to check his condition.
‘But why are you hiding it?’
I couldn’t understand why he had called the best healer, Saint Sahara, and gave him three great elixir.
‘Are you trying to avoid the checks between direct and collateral?’
It wasn’t very likely either. Glenn is the absolute ruler of Sieghard. His influence covers the whole of Sieghard. No matter how strong the momentum of Jeonju, Glenn’s words would never have touched the annex.
‘It’s vague to see that you loved me.’
Glenn didn’t give anything first. By the time he was 12, he had only met Glenn at discriminant, and had never been given a present. He was always rewarded for his performance, so he never thought of him thinking about him.
‘Nope. Taehwabo was a little different.’
Glenn showed the demonstration himself, not giving the Taehwabo’s structure or giving it as a book. Come to think of it, he looked different back then.
‘I don’t know.’
Leon ruffled his hair. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was falling into a labyrinth.
– Ttt, isn’t that obvious?
Lars climbed over the bracelet and clicked his tongue.
‘Is it obvious?’
-okay. I’m trying to use you.
‘that… .’
-You must have been different from the moment you were born as a vessel for the king. It’s clear that the old man recognizes your talents and is trying to use you to raise the value of the family’s name.
He murmured that both the human world and the demon world were the same.
‘Noisy.’
Raon frowned. Of course I was thinking about that possibility, but when I heard about it from Lars, I got annoyed.
‘I’ll go back to the family and see the headmaster’s reaction.’
It seemed that he had to check that to know what he was really thinking. Since I have had a lot of experience in my past life, if you really want to use it, you can know enough.
smart.
As Raon gathered his thoughts, he heard a small knock on the door. It was a familiar sound after coming here.
“come in.”
As soon as I was afraid to answer, the door opened, and a child with a slightly cheeky appearance, but with calm eyes, came in. It was Julius who ran away with the saint.
“hello.”
Julius bowed his head politely.
“okay. No pain anywhere?”
Raon smiled and nodded his head. Julius has been visiting almost every day since waking up to greet him politely. He was very different in appearance and behavior.
“You can stop. There is no need to feel burdened by the fact that you saved me.”
Just as Federik had done good deeds to himself as a child, he also had no desire for Julius. I just hoped that he would grow up well without being shocked.
“Ah, I… .”
Julius hesitated and bit his lip. It was different from the usual straight guy.
“It’s okay, if you have something to say, do it.”
“Can’t I go with you?”
“What?”
“I also want to go with the prosecutor.”
Julius opened his mouth and his eyes were straight. Seeing that there was no shaking, he seemed to have a firm will.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Not all of a sudden. I’ve been thinking about it since the day you saved me and the saint. He said he was leaving the next day, so I thought I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it wasn’t now.”
I’ve felt it for a long time, but the young guy is the center of the tone. I felt like I had received proper etiquette training.
“How is your family?”
“There is not. After my grandfather passed away, I lived alone.”
“Well… .”
His voice was so calming that it surprised me.
‘I did.’
Judging from the situation, it seems that it was after his grandfather passed away that a war broke out to take Julius with him.
Raon raised his senses as he looked at Julius’s hardened eyes.
‘The body is flexible yet strong. The mana circuit… uh?’
Thinking that Julius’s physical condition was not bad, he opened his mouth as he looked inside.
‘What a child’s mana circuit… .’
His mana circuit was thicker and wider than any other sword user-class swordsman. The inside of the mana circuit was also clean, and the danjeon was bigger and harder than the others. If this child learns the technique, he will be able to attract Aurors faster than anyone else.
‘That’s why everyone was upset.’
Physical condition is not bad, but the real thing is inside. Julius had great qualities that allowed him to rise up.
But what I really like is that it’s not like that.
I liked the calmness and strong spirit that a child of that age cannot have.
“It’s not difficult to take you, but this is your hometown. Can I really leave?”
“It’s not something you can’t come back to, and I think it’s okay to keep your hometown in your heart.”
Julius said this time as well, and his eyes lit up.
“Okay. Because it’s not that difficult. I will tell the lord of the Thousand Swords.”
Raon smiled softly and nodded his head.
“But why did you come to me? It would have been easier if I had gone to the Lord of the Thousand Swords from the beginning.”
“The reason I wanted to go to Sieghard is because of the prosecutor.”
“ah… .”
He seemed to know what this kid was thinking. It was clear that he thought he was a hero who came to save himself from a crisis.
“Then I think you should change your mind. It’s not good to see me and go to Sieghard… .”
“no.”
Julius quickly shook his head.
“It was never a simple thought. When I saw you, I felt the scent of a person, not a hero.”
“A human scent?”
“Even if he is not strong, he is a strong-willed swordsman. I want to become a prosecutor who can carry out his will. I’ve really thought about it, so please accept it.”
The words of a swordsman who can carry through the scent and will of a person are deeply engraved in my heart.
‘Did I look like that? .’
I don’t know what Julius saw himself saying that, but he didn’t feel bad.
“i get it. Departure is two days later in the morning. Don’t be late.”
“thank you!”
Julius bowed his head and left the room.
-Hmm.
Lars looked at Julius’s back and ate his mouth.
-Why are you like this only to this guy? .
‘Well?
Raon looked down at Las.
“Is there anything more special about that child?”
– I don’t know!
Lars went back into the bracelet as if he had no intention of saying anything.
‘I’ll have to check it out… .’
* * *
two days later.
Raon left the mansion he was staying in to leave Letran. Everyone had prepared in advance, and they were waiting in front of Encia’s carriage.
“You’re coming too late because you’re the main character.”
Sheryl, who was leaning her back on the carriage, frowned.
“It’s not time for departure yet.”
“Because you don’t say a word.”
Raon pointed to the sky, and Cheryl smiled and went to the front of the carriage.
“Laon?”
The carriage’s window opened, and Encia jumped out. The cool impression that the swelling had disappeared was shining brightly in the sunlight.
“Laon!”
She waved her hand, not just her face, but her entire upper body out the window.
“Wow! You were so handsome today! It’s the best so far! I look more handsome when I open my eyes wide!”
“miss!”
“Please!”
Thanks to the maids’ hold, Encia was barely avoiding falling through the window.
‘It’s gotten more intense.’
Raon scratched his cheek. Encia was shouting that she was handsome, more fuss than usual, thanks to the disappearance of the pain.
“Are there any uncomfortable places?”
“My back hurt a little, but it’s okay now! Raon-sama’s face is medicine, and your face is food!”
“Uh… .”
It was burdensome, but seeing the person who was tired of the pain brightened up like that made me feel at ease.
“I thought the pods would disappear when the pain went away, but no! You’re just john! Handsome and good, handsome and smart, handsome and master!”
Even after being pulled into a carriage by the maids, Encia almost praised her for being handsome.
“Hey, it got worse… .”
“Are you going to live with this ugly person?”
“I want to die… .”
“Not yet. The river is cold.”
“I’m ugly, I have a bad brain, and I’m an expert!”
The Thousand Swordsmen and the Gwangpungdan, who were standing around the carriage, grabbed their heads and shouted evil.
“haha!”
“Wow… .”
Pederic giggled as he looked at it, and Julius stared blankly at it.
“Um, John, you look so handsome. You’re handsome, Master… .”
Runan followed Encia’s words several times and nodded. He seemed to be trying to remember.
“When you’re done playing, get ready!”
“Yes!”
At Cheryl’s instructions, Raon got on the horse. The other prosecutors also took their seats in front of the horses and wagons, waiting for orders to depart.
“The destination is the Yonan family! The mission is not over yet! Never be vigilant!”
“Yes!”
“depart!”
Cheryl, as before, drove her horse to the front, and everyone followed her.
As I slowly drove down the road to the main road, people gathered on both sides like clouds.
“Wow!”
“Prosecutors Sieghard! Thank you for saving me!”
“thank you so much!”
The villagers waved their hands and cheered all the prosecutors. Her eyes were clear as if she had overcome sadness and expressed gratitude.
“I will definitely pay back the silver for the lifesaving!”
“Call me anytime!”
“I will find you anywhere!”
The surviving swordsmen of the Basin family and the Trian family took the sword with their swords reversed. I owed a huge debt, and it meant that I was going to pay it back.
“Okay, go back and do some training.”
Cheryl smiled softly and waved at the prosecutors.
“Wow!
“Laon!”
“Sulwha Swordsmanship!”
“I look forward to the future! Sulwhasoohyeop!”
As Raon passed by, a louder shout erupted than all of them combined. Everyone widened their eyes at the sound that hurt their ears.
“Sulwha Swordsmanship?”
Raon tilted his head at the first hearing.
“I’m talking about you.”
Burren came to the side and chinked.
“me?”
“The swordsman of the Medical Association who went into the trap of Eden without hesitation to pay back the silver from his childhood and cut down a ravenous demon, a red horned ogre, and a black winged ogre. This is the new nickname for Raon Sieghard.”
He smiled happily as if he was doing his job.
“The best thing is that it is a battle against evil spirits. The whole continent was moved by not lowering the sword until the end to protect the saint and the child!”
Dorian frowned, saying it was a pity he couldn’t see it in person.
“But why Sulwha Swordsmanship… .”
“It means that it is a swordsmanship that uses fire and ice at the same time. It also literally means flower. Anyway, the title is really cool!”
“I want to get a nickname like that too… .”
Crane approached him as if envious, and nodded his head.
Raon waved her hand as she saw the people smiling broadly, calling her name and nickname. The louder cheers made my ears deaf and my heart raced.
I felt it at Habun Castle, but it brought me a strange thrill to cheer my name and to have a nickname.
Rosie and the other priests standing in front of the gates came out and bowed their heads. As their hands turned to the sky, a pure white light poured over them and wrapped them all around their bodies.
“Blessed be the heroes.”
Rosie and the priests lifted their heads and smiled softly.
“May the blessings be with you too.”
Raon, following Cheryl’s greeting, bowed his head to the priests and exited Letran. Even after leaving the village, people’s shouts continued to be heard.
“I thought I was going to die because my heart was pounding.”
“I know. My heart is still beating.”
Dorian and Crane had blushed smiles on their faces.
“Twitch, you only have that much.”
“Wake!”
Martha and Burren also remembered their faces, unlike their horses.
“… … .”
The only one who was the most calm was Runan, whose eyes were as bright as a horse.
Raon looked at them and smiled softly, then looked up at the sky. Now that the job has been successfully completed, there is only one thing left.
‘Reward after completing the mission.’
that’s fixed
Artifacts were not what the Yonan family wanted.
